RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,350, dated December14, 1880.

Application filed September 13, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, GILES F. FILLEY, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made anew and useful Improvement in Ranges, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexeddrawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is aview, in perspective, of that part of the range with which theimprovement in question is immediately connected, the damper beingclosed, and a portion of the outer and inner walls being broken away toexhibit the interior construction; and Fig. 2 a similar view, butshowing the damper open.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement in three-flue ranges, and it isone of a series of modifications of the construction patented to DavidH. Nation, J une 1,1880, and numbered 228,270.

In the construction referred to a division strip extends from the backside of the range to the opposite side thereof just beyond the divingflues, and the heat-currents are drawn to the sides of the top flue, andthe heat thereby applied to better advantage.

This improvement has especial relation to the construction of thedivision-strip above mentioned and the diving fines anddamper.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved range having thelire-place B, the flue 0, leading from the fire-place, the diving fluesD D, side bottom flues, E E, center bottom flue, F, ascending flue G,flue-space H, and oven I, as in the original construction.

K represents the division-strip extending from the side aof the range tothe side a. In place, however, of a continuousimperforat-e strip, as inthe construction referred to, it is cut away or perforated above thediving flues D D, and the latter, instead of terminating on the rearside below the level of the oven-top t, are extended fully up to thelevel of the oven-top t, as shown. This enables the damper M to beplaced entirely above the level of the top 'i of the oven, and this, inturn, enables the space H to be made shallower than in the originalconstruction.

A slide-damper is preferably used, and it is operated by means of therod m.

To heat the oven the damper M is closed, and the course of theheat-currents is then as follows: from the flue 0 down the flues D D,and thence, through the flues E E F G, into the flue H. From thislast-named flue the currents pass into a flue, N, that extends along theside a of the range out to the escape N, which is arranged at or nearthe center of the side a of the range, and substantially as in theoriginal construction.

For direct draft the damper is drawn out, as in Fig. 2, and theheat-currents then pass from the flue 0 through the openings in thestrip K into the space H, and thence to the escape N, through the flueN.

I claim- 1. In a range, A, the combination of the flues O, H, and N,said flues O and H being separated by the strip K, and said strip beingarranged, extended, and perforated or cut away substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination, in the range A, of the fluesO,DD,EE,F,G,H,and N,andthedamper M, said flues O and H being separated by the strip K, and saidstrip being arranged, extended, and perforated or cut away substantiallyas described.
